“We are the people, we are united and we are determined, we are not going to be divided or let austerity divide us. We are increasing in support and we are determined to force another election as soon as we can,” he told the crowd.

Corbyn also accused government ministers of displaying “unbelievable” hypocrisy by heaping “praise on the emergency services” one day and then voting against a Labour amendment to lift the public service pay gap the next.

At least 10,000 people registered on Facebook to say that they planned to attend the protest, which was organized by the People’s Assembly Against Austerity (PAAA) group.

“Theresa May called the General Election to gain a bigger majority, and despite massive media bias in favor of the Conservatives, she failed spectacularly to deliver on that,” a PAAA statement released before the event read.

“Now the Tories are in chaos trying to prop up a government with the deeply conservative and regressive DUP,” they said.

“We’re marching against a government committed to austerity, cuts and privatization… We’re marching for a decent health service, education system, housing, jobs and living standards for all,” the group added.
